What is Recent advances in the ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration of agricultural products: A review about?
Osmotic dehydration (OD) is an easy method for removing water from fruits and vegetables pieces. The combination of the sonication process (using ultrasonic sound waves) with the OD technique commonly named ultrasound-assisted OD (UAOD), can further improve the dehydration process efficiencies by increasing the mass transfer rates and enhancing final product quality. This manuscript reviews the application and impact of different UAOD conditions on the dehydration performance, and quality of dehydrated fruits and vegetables pieces. The physicochemical characteristics, mass transfer rates (moisture loss and soluble solids gain), and effective diffusivity coefficients during the UAOD treatment of fruit and vegetable pieces are considerably affected by pre-treatment techniques, sonication intensity (power or amplitude or frequency), direct or indirect sonication conditions, treatment temperature and time, osmotic solution concentration, osmotic agent (sucrose, glucose, fructose, sorbitol, trehalose, or NaCl), and structure and thickness of samples. The UAOD treatment increased the amount of weight reduction, moisture loss, and soluble solids gain. Also, this method is easy to carry ou
